    Don't think that matters much with a misfire. Check the wires to the coils. They get hot, brittle, and may need to be replaced.

    I replaced the spark plugs with the appropriate Bosch type...This appears to have solved the problem.
    Thanks to everyone who commented.

    Update: After replacing the PCV system and Evap Purge Valve...
    It appears I have isolated the problem(rough idle and check engine light)... to a single an evap purge code;( instead of the several I was getting before)...
    I believe the evap leak is fuel level dependent(eg: The rough idle is temporarily diminished with full tank of gas)....
    I believe there's some type evap type pump in the differential area, which might need to be replaced.

    Would anyone mind sharing tips on how to test the evap system( safely)...?

    Thank's in advance,
